Their scores seem so high because of the system they use. Their system said my kid did not know how to read, yet my kid can read about 20 different books at home and knows over 100 words. Their system makes the kids seem dumb at first because they don't know what to do, but then once kids learn the horrible software, scores go up because they now know what to do. So it makes the system seem far better than it actually is. Dibel's 8th edition is what they use and it has ONCE case study done on it.... A case study using a group of kids that are 80% Hispanic where English is not their primary language...THAT is what they base their software off of as being good. It focus's on nonsensical words.... yeah they made that a thing. They teach your kids how to pronounce words that aren't actually words... So if your kid comes home asking what VOP spells, don't tell them it isn't a word because it is a nonsensical word according to Dibel's 8th edition.... Without the teacher's at this school, it would be shut down. Management at this school is a disaster held together by good teachers.

well lets see! i myself went to badin school,i have had 8 kids in this school,all was pretty much bad times!i think this is the worst school in n.c.once my kids left this school,their grades all went straight up.our new principal at this school says its ok for the teachers to eat and drink sodas in front of our children(during class) since teachers get no breaks she watches the teachers parking lot only to tell the parents they cant be dropping their kids off there beside the lunch room for breakfast they cant do that in their lot!.she says if our children accidentally touch someone on the buss they get in school detention.some of the teachers want answer questions,when asked by some children,now the kids get two weeks off for christmas,and guess what!my child has 5 pages front and back of math homework to do in these two weeks,then he also has 13 pages of science home work front and back to do.i really wonder how much school work these teachers are doing during this vacation time!we do have a fem good teachers there,but very few! BADIN SCHOOL,really needs the school board to take a long look at their teachers,and principal.

This is a very small, country school. They have limited resources, but make due with what they are given. Parents of kids here definitely try to help out in every way they can. We all want our kids to excel in all that they do. What better way to help them excel than to get involved.
